Something’s not right

Not Coping

Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Not Coping

That looks yummy @Birdofparadise8

Managed to get my bathroom cleaned

We have a big dinner xmas day. Chicken, turkey, ham with all the trimmings. Think I have everything organised for the day.

Re: Not Coping

Is it hard to cook a turkey @Snowie?

They take a long time, don't they?

Re: Not Coping

Not sure about the Turkey @Birdofparadise8 I don't buy a whole one.

I just buy a rolled turkey from Aldi. Straight from the freezer to the oven, follow the instructions. Kept it nice and easy!

Re: Not Coping

Ah, nice. I think my other nan has cooked that once, but from Woollies or Coles, no Aldi here in Hobart, sadly @Snowie

Re: Not Coping

I love my local aldi store @Birdofparadise8

Buy cooked chickens (pick them up xmas morning), have the ham so only have to cook the turkey and some vegetables.

I try and make it as easy for me as I can. SIL and MIL bringing desserts so don't have to worry about them.

Re: Not Coping

Gosh, lucky you @Snowie

We will have a BBQ, salad, and roast potatoes. My mum does the best ones in duck fat. They are so good than dessert. The "men" will cook the BBQ lol.

Re: Not Coping

That sounds yummy @Birdofparadise8

Hopefully it is a nice day for the men to cook the bbq. It is meant to be raining here so will have it inside.

Re: Not Coping

Hopefully the rain holds off for them @Birdofparadise8

We have an undercover area outside but not big enough for everyone.

Just hoping my SIL doesn't bring their dog. It is so annoying and shreds everywhere.
